A thousand years ago, there was a kingdom called the Silver Millenium ruled from the Moon by Queen Selenity (or Serenity, however you want to put it) and her daughter, Princess Serenity (Selenity). The Princess fell in love with a quite charming prince of Earth named Endymion. Alas, at that time, there was a war between an evil force called Metallia (she ruled the Negaverse through Queen Beryl) and the Silver Millenium. The Earth and Moon were not the best of friends, to put it politely. However, Endymion fought by the Moon's side and everyone was killed in the battles (that includes the princess's court, the princess herself and Endymion)..However, just before the Queen died, she used a mythical stone called the ginzuishou or "silver crystal" to reincarnate the princess and her four guardians (Sailor Mercury, Sailor Venus, Sailor Mars, Sailor Jupiter), and her beloved Prince Endymion to a more peaceful time on Earth. This is where the story really begins. One by one, Sailor Moon (later revealed to be the princess), Sailor Mercury, Sailor Mars and Sailor Venus are found and put into "active duty" by Queens Selenity's former feline advisors, Luna and Artemis, who were also sent to the future to train and aid the princess and her guardian soldiers. Each season has the sailor senshi fighting different forms of evil with different evil plans, and thus, protecting the earth.
